ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION One of the most commonly treated cosmetic disorders in dermatology is telangiectatic webs, or spider veins. The methods of treatment most commonly employed by the dermatologic surgeon include sclerotherapy and lasers. For larger varicose veins, dermatologic surgeons employ sclerotherapy with the newest improvement of foamed detergent sclerosing agents, ambulatory phlebectomy, and endovenous occlusion and ablation by intravascular radiofrequency or laser energy.
